gone for a week
ok starting wednesday i will be gone for an entire week doing family things that i wish i could be happier about but right now i really just want to be left alone and i’m pretty scared i won’t get personal alone time to think and write and draw. i won’t have internet anyway though, and i’m also pretty terrified of the huge amount of tumblr posts i will be coming back to. i...

Watchfuckyeahfluiddynamics:
Turing patterns form as a result of a particular kind of chemical reaction: a reaction-diffusion system. It consists of an activator chemical capable of making more of itself, and an inhibitor chemical which slows the production of the activator as well as a mechanism for diffusing the chemicals. Although Turing’s original work was theoretical in nature, scientists have...

also i decided to make and sell/give away a small ashcan thingy since i realized i already have enough stuff of a certain theme/style to make half of one, gonna finish up some ideas i had to make the rest of it. keeping the theme a secret, but it won’t surprise anyone (no it’s not owls)

thanks for the replies, guys! it seems most everyone agrees there isn’t a hugely strong theme or whatever in my work, but everyone seems to be saying ‘just roll with it’ hahaha… *cough* i guess i shouldn’t think about it too much anymore then @__@

tripleshades answered your question: having a theme
You’re still...
Anonymous asked: I dunno if I'd say you have a particular style or theme, but there's really nothing wrong with a li'l inconsistency! You could try thinking of it as being flexible instead if that makes you feel better about it~ And you still have like an underlying style that shows a little in all your different styles, if that makes sense. I think every artist does, actually! Only you can decide...

having a theme
going through other people’s galleries and then my own, i notice a lot of artists i like have a ‘thing’- a style or kind of picture - they do a lot of and they do well. Surely this is because they get a lot of practice doing it! But I feel like I don’t have a ‘thing’; maybe i’ll do a couple pictures for a series in a certain style but otherwise i feel...

art desk
i wish i had space for an art desk, so when i wanted to get close to a piece i’m working on i could just, you know, lean forward instead of hunching over like a mad scientist.
so i was looking for tabletop tilted drawing boards and came across this. $84, a bit steep, but looks pretty good, plus i can actually use it as a light box which is like a ~luxury~ to me because i’ve never...

i drew a weird abstract thing that took way longer than i expected, then i scanned it and had no idea what to do with it, messed with it for about an hour and got something i like a lot, uggh it looks like crap in the thumbnail though. i guess that’s to be expected with low-contrast stuff though…? well i won’t look at it until tomorrow, then i’ll decide what i want to...
updated 'about me'
Hey I updated my blog to include an ‘about me’ page because i realized i like it when other artists have little descriptions of themselves but i’ve been all ~mysterious~ which probably isn’t helpful. There’s also links in there to other places i am at on the internet, like deviantart and wordpress.
i have many plans for things to draw today! we’ll see how...

undeveloped art
so i was playing a video game today where you see a drawing one of the main characters made as a child, and it got me thinking about how i drew as a kid. Now this is just based off my memory and observations through my life, but I feel like typical kids and any-age non-artists curiously draw in two distinct styles based on the prompt— highly symbolic or highly descriptive.
Highly symbolic...

just a reminder that i have a personal sideblog where i write about stuff not related to art. i’d like to use it for ALL non-art reblogs and silly stuff too but barely anybody knows this exists so i end up putting those on my art blog just so more people will see them. but u have the power to change this…
this is just a reblog of an entry i wrote...

so i have this comic one-shot i’ve been wanting to do for a few years, and i’m really excited about a lot of it, but i’ve been reluctant to finalize the script and start drawing because i’m not sure whether i’m overstepping my bounds on the central issue in the comic.

it’s based around an experience i had a few years ago and my feelings during and...
